Activists set up in front of the driveway leading into the Nestle bottling plant Thursday and said they will risk arrest if necessary to block the trucks going into and out of Nestle.

Concerned about dwindling local and state water supplies during the drought, the demonstrators said Nestle is using millions of gallons of Sacramento water. They also contend that the company is charging too much for bottled water.

Activists were out at the Nestle Sacramento plant with bullhorns blaring as early as 5 a.m. calling for the plant to shut down.

A coalition of environmental, Native American and labor groups released reports detailing a deal between Nestle and the city that allows Nestle to use of million gallons a year of water drained from local aquifers. Nestle denied the arrangement with the city.

Sacramento residents have been ordered to restrict lawn watering and other water uses. Nestle, however, said their water use is two one-thousandths of one percent of the entire water use in Sacramento.

As far as the pricing of its water, Nestle said it has no objection to the possibility of tiered pricing, as long as rates are based on the amount of water purchased and all water users are treated the same.
